Well, I accidentally stumbled across the bar as I was wandering through Balmain. Mind you, I had…read morebeen exploring the other pubs that were scattered about but had no idea that this place existed, so I decided to go and check it out since it was in the way that I was heading. Well, it certainly stands out from the other pubs in the area, namely because it is basically a bar, and a pretty unpretentious one at that. It has a pretty nice laid back atmosphere and a great place for a quiet drink. Mind you, there wasn't a huge amount of options in the way of beers, and the outdoor seats are actually quite narrow, however I still liked the place.

My friend loves this place so we decided to meet here for a catch up. The place was intimate and…read morefunky with seating outside as well as inside. The staff were warm and welcoming. They were French so you could listen to all night long! We each had a glass of red wine which was lovely. The beers were craft and the wine list was quite impressive We shared chat potatoes then I had the pork sliders which were nice. Chips were good! The dessert tasting plate consisted of chocolate mousse with a good topping of cream, passion fruit creme brulee, chocolate brownie and raspberry sorbet. It was a great little place for a chilled catch up with a friend!

Nachos - sweet, spicy, fresh. It has all those flavors and can be split by two. It comes in a 9 inch bowl with enough ingredients to make you two full. Coupled with a tap beer and you won't go wrong. 2. Calimari - thick cut and little amount of batter. Also to be shared but it can be conquered by one peraon. The sauce is like honey mustard and it comes with a lemon. Overall it was enjoyable. 3. Feral hop hog beer - smells like grapefruit and tastes hoppy. It's one of the tap craft beers. Delicious on a hot day but actually any type of day. Overall, I'd come back for more or for a quick bite.

I had the fish and chips, and it was pretty good (fish was fresh!). Im deducting one star because the portion was quite small for what it cost. With such a convenient location, I would highly recommend coming in for a drink/ or a break from the sightseeing. Great service !

Huge, high ceilings, darkwood floors, light streaming in through giant windows, and a penchant for partying that blows the pants off me damn near every time I go there. The other month it was their birthday party with art installations and live entertainment, today it was the Superbowl, with 50c buffalo wings and the game on a colossal 3.5m big screen. I don't even know what next time will bring but I'm little kid excited.

Had lunch here last week, and we sat in the outdoor section which was almost too bright. The…read moreatmosphere outside was pretty good even for a mid week lunch though I imagine it would pick up on the weekends and really shine. I had the trio of sliders - beef, chicken and pork. Which sounded awesome on the menu, and which look great in the photo, but what you don't get from the visual is that they were quite dry. Did I mention how bright it was yet? One of our entourage had the Gamberi pizza and really ended up regretting it, because it was mucho grande on the garlic and poco pequeno on the prawns. I also regretted it as I was forced to endure 63 minutes of death by passive garlic breath as a participant on a conference call later that day. Travelling inside to get drinks we were greeted with a dank dungeon dimly lit by magenta neon sleaze. I'm sure I spotted a raised dais, all that seemed to be missing was stripper pole steel. Returning outside again I was reminded just how bright it was. My eyes struggled to readjust, and it seemed almost ridiculous that there wasn't some sort of trendy sail or shade set up to block the obvious saturation of sunburst that this outdoor patio was forced to endure... Was I burning? Was I burnt? I had to swap seats to ensure shady coverage, and it wasn't until we'd been there for literally 45 minutes the wait staff decided to show off the electronic shade cloth they'd decided wasn't worth using till most of us were lobster bisque red. So how was the service? It wasn't what you'd expect from a restaurant but is maybe indicative of a bar selling bistro style meals. Everything came out at different times. Would we go again? I can almost bet we will, but no doubt we'll skip the garlic, ask for the shadecloth straight up, and leave our expectations at home. priceless tip: Bring sunnies (and maybe even a hat) if you plan on sitting out the back of Bar 100.

Mind you, it is pretty much one of those backpacker nightspots, which is what Kings Cross has really become these days. I have been here a few times, and it does have a pretty decent upstairs area.

Visually, the curry was disappointing. As far as taste, it didn't taste bad but it wasn't good either. I swear I remember they advertised it as the best curry you'll ever have. That's definitely not true, but I doubt the sign was meant to be taken literally. I don't think you can really mess up halloumi, so that was as good as expected. The inside decor is nice from what I could tell (it's really dark in there at night!). The bathrooms are clean. This place wasn't particularly memorable. I think they probably get a lot of tourist traffic.

This is not a soup, but you are giving a little serving dish of the bisque to pour on as much as you'd like on your bug. lol for our main entrées, my husband had Heramassa Kingfish that he said was light and very yummy. I had the duck dish as that's one of my favorite meals. I can't say that this was cooked the way I tend to like my duck, which is more pink in it. It was overcooked . T It was chewy and there wasn't enough sauce, which would've helped. Last but at least we both had desserts and they were both fantastic! He had the lemon tart, mango meringue, and I had the Caramelia raspberry sponge cake. It was delicious! You can't beat the view from this restaurant and the service was very attentive and they were very friendly. The only thing I would say is they could update it inside a bit more. Maybe new carpet and furniture but all in all it was worth it. I think we paid $72 per person, so it wasn't cheap and then you still had to buy your alcohol (2 glasses of wine cost $51 ) which is pretty expensive, oysters were extra, side dishes were extra as well. I still give it a higher rating as opposed to a lower one. Great special evening place to go.!

They must have the coldest beer fridges in Sydney, as I've never had a tiger so chilled before. The glass panelled bar provides a window of entertainment with all sorts of knick knack brick-a-brackery to take a guernsey at whilst you wait for that clever cocktail to slide your way. From the well appointed stalls and entertaining bathroom walls, to the comfy lounges and sexy cocktails, this place just about has it all. The bar staff are just plain cool and lack the 'tude so prevalent at other places, which is a refreshing change of pace. The pocket is aptly named too. She has a strict capacity, which gets hit pretty quick, so get in early... and stay late!

Check your bill. I…read moreordered a vodka martini, which I expected to cost $14 as per their menu which listed Ketel One as the spirit used. They upgraded me to a Grey Goose without telling me and we forgot to check the bill (since we trusted the establishment thanks to their good service so far), where it cost $30. We realised in the car, halfway home already. Not cool! The food is alright, bar food from various locales, at the price point you can expect for the location (personally I prefer both Aria and Guillaume at this price point). The lamb skewers on fatoush were pretty good. Churros too hard. Some weird experiments: the smoked egg yolk on top of the tartare was inedible (oversalted, stuck to your teeth) and completely ignored the purpose of egg yolk in tartare, but the raw meat was alright. Good and fast service and obviously great view for a drink. I'm still bitter about being stealth upgraded and it means I probably won't visit again unless I have to.

The cocktail list was lackluster at best, not very inspired. The food was also somewhat less than one would expect for the price. So the good: Our waiter was beautiful, like actually model beautiful and he was charming and knew his stuff. The beet root salad was amazing. The prawns were pretty good. I enjoyed the oysters but my friends did not. The view is probably what brings people here, it's amazing although they could certainly do more with the ambiance and furniture inside. The mojito was good according to my friend. The bad: We didn't always have great service. Sometimes I went to the bar or over to find our waiter. The haloumi was uninspired as the accompaniments did not do it justice. The drinks were not great including a sub par Bloody Mary, old fashioned, Mai tai and Manhattan, in fact aside from the mojito we were not impressed. We had the basil, cherry tomato, bocchonchini pizza and I did not like it. I thought the tomato sauce was bad, my other friend felt it wasn't cooked enough and my other friend felt that the cheese was good but it wasn't special. Between 3 of us, with food and drinks it was easy to spend our $200 and also easy to see why this place was on scoopon. I hope our hot waiter finds a better place to work!
